Devils Lake (Winter)

Devils Lake is located on the Cascade Lakes Highway, approximately 30 minutes from Bend and is a stunning aquamarine lake.  In the Winter it freezes over, and in early winter can be used as a skating lake.  Deeper in winter, it is completely covered in snow.  The area is a lava forest.

There is parking on the Highway which encompasses a short but steep hike down to the lake. There is also parking off road leading to campsites.

In winter the highway is closed from the Mt. Bachelor access point, but can be accessed via snow mobiles or snow cat.

During the Summer the lakes are maintained by Deschutes National Forest, in winter the permitting process is handled by ODOT (Oregon Dept. of Transportation).

Chimney Rock Campground

Along the Chimney Rock segment of Central Oregon’s Crooked Wild and Scenic River, Chimney Rock campground offers a stunning woodland setting amongst Western Juniper trees and beneath massive Columbia River rock formations. Fly-fishing and hiking on the nearby Chimney Rock trail offer excellent branded content opportunities, particularly for recreational and fly fishing requirements.

There is a reasonable amount of parking for vehicles, production rigs may be more challenged. Camping area would provide multiple areas for crew.  

We highly recommend this area for a fly fishing or recreational shoot.   Permits must be obtained from the BLM, and are required between 30-45 days in advance.
